Sound delay while playing into mic

Post by captain banno » Thu Dec 20, 2007 5:26 am

Hey,
I'm having trouble with a delay while I'm playing, like an echo. The playback sounds fine. I've tried everything. Software playthrough is off, volume controls are good. I just got a new computer. Audacity worked great on my last computer. (check out showcaseyourmusic.com/captainbanno) Anybody got any ideas? I'm going absolutely crazy. Thanks alot.

It's almost certain that Audacity is trying to record itself as well as you. There is a slight delay there which gives you an echo.

Windows Sound Control panels are a lot more mysterious than you think.
